Maggie Sottero Sahara on plus size bride?

Anyone have this dress? It is NOT what I envisioned myself in on my wedding day, and while I liked it when I put it on, it didn’t WOW me. But ever since, it’s all I can think about when I think about wedding gowns! I’m an 18/20 street size and the sample was like a 12; it’s hard to get an image of what it “really” looks like on a fuller figured diva-woman when it’s not pinned in the back and everything. (Especially the corset-style back.)

That’s a pretty good idea, actually. Ironically, I’d printed it off from the website as an example of what I didn’t want – lace everywhere (which I didn’t think I could wear, as a fuller figured gal) and random splotches of bling. But in person, it’s actually extremely elegant and tasteful. Caused a great deal of confusion to see it look so much nicer than I thought it would lol. Funny how that works out sometimes.

I have another dress appointment next weekend … will see if they have anything in that shape! What is the “official” bridal term for it? Fit n’ flare or mermaid?

soontobeMrsScott: I ended up not going with it, but in the place I went it was about $1800. I was offered a $200 discount if I ordered before a certain date, plus could be spared the 9% sales tax ($150+ extra dollars) if I had it shipped to my mom’s house out of state. High up in the budget, but so gorgeous!
